The morning light was faint, the clouds were shining, and the sharp whistle sounded in the base as soon as the sky was bright.

Bai Ze had countless sleeping insects scratching him in his heart, and he could only grit his teeth and use his mental power to stimulate himself to get out of bed.

Quickly dressed and ran to the queue, only to find that the veteran team members had arrived, and he was still the fastest among the newcomers.

Wearing a shiny leather armor, Wirt solemnly announced: "Originally, the training project in the morning was sword and shield killing, but in the news I received last night, someone found traces of demonic beast activity in the Lolan dense forest, forty kilometers south of Celtic, so this morning's training was changed to actual combat." ”

He put on a black glove and twisted a huge tooth from the tray in the adjutant's hand, which was twenty centimeters long, but the tip of the tooth was rounded and yellow.

"It has been preliminarily determined that this demonic beast is a wilderness eater with a medium threat level, a wolf genus, and its saliva is poisonous and corrosive, with a height of between one and a half meters and a length of between five and nine meters. ”

Wirt held up the tooth that had fallen out of age, "The good news is, it's probably an old fellow, but if left unchecked, it's a source of instability for both the hunter and the villages around Celt—"

"This time, there are ninety-seven members of our first city defense team, and except for the twenty-one on duty, the others are all involved in this operation to ensure that nothing goes wrong," Wilt gave a cold look at the belated Jace, who was even the last of all the recruits to arrive, and said, "Wolves are never solitary animals. ”

"Now, give you five minutes to get ready, grab your guys, and get back here and ready to go!" Wilt put the tooth back on the tray and called out to Jace, "You stay, run ten laps around Celtic, and you don't have to be involved in this operation." ”

Tyr couldn't help but smile, for some reason, he seemed to be incompatible with Jace, and once told Bai Ze that Jace was a hypocrite at first glance.

Bai Ze said that although he didn't know how to see it, Tyr was right.

The target of this operation, the wolf beast, was used by Siciridel to test Celtic's plan in the original book, but this time Celtic's city defense team did not suffer the annihilation of the whole army, but was only weakened by less than 20% of the strength -

Therefore, the forced troops in the original book have now become the assembly and killing of the first city defense team.

The muddy mountain road was one foot deep and one foot shallow, and it was really difficult to walk, and even Wirt's face was covered with haze, and a light rain in the early morning, although not enough to wash away all the traces of the beast, was enough to dispel most of the remnants of the smell.

The forty-kilometre march took only two hours, and by the time wisps of smoke could be seen rising, Wirther announced his imminent arrival.

This is where yesterday's information came from—a quiet and serene little village, with a kind and old chief, a bold and drunken blacksmith, and children playing with hunting bows and telling stories about the old hunter in his youth.

It was this weathered veteran hunter who wisely chose to evacuate after discovering the traces of the Eater, and immediately notified the Celtic Ministry of Security, otherwise perhaps this small village would become one of the countless tragedies in history, at most adding a name to the old wolf slaughter village.

Bai Ze twisted his body silently, and the bones all over his body made a crackling sound, and in this short one-day "army" career, he himself was amazed at his patience.

Perhaps everyone overestimates one aspect of themselves and underestimates the other.

He could feel that he was becoming more familiar with his body, and that his grasp of strength was far more refined than before.

The hamlet is nestled in a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, and even the exit is covered with thorns and weeds and shrubs except for a path three people wide.

Werther had said that it was not permissible to split any thorns, as it might make their march easier but threaten the safety of the inhabitants.

Bai Ze lowered his head, silently ignoring the branches and wooden thorns that avoided the leather armor scraping his body, and walked into this small valley with the team.

The slope of the mountain surrounded on three sides seemed to be more suitable, and the part enclosed by the fence might be covered with various traps so as not to be invaded by hungry beasts in the middle of the night—Bai Ze exhaled a long breath, faintly feeling the special fragrance of grass and rotting wood from the distant jungle in the wind.

"Oh, the God of creation! ”

A kind-faced old man gripped Wirt's hand tightly, and his eyes reddened slightly: "The children haven't slept well all night yesterday since Old Horner found out about the damned beast......!

He was accompanied by a woman with red eyes and a man with a rough face.

"Oh, that's an unimaginable disaster!" The old village chief shook his head, as if he was about to faint, Wirt immediately grabbed the old man, showed a shining eight-tooth smile, patted his chest and promised: "Old man, don't worry, our first city defense team is all dispatched, catch a wolf and catch it, you can live as usual in the village!"

"That's great, that's great. The old man muttered, his cheeks flushed.

Wirther turned to all the team members and said, "Everyone sit on the ground, eat dry food to replenish their strength, and I will be on call before I come back!" Then he turned to the old man and said, "Old man, may I ask who these two are?"

"Oh oh, this is my wife, and this is Nas, the blacksmith of the village. ”

"It's a pleasure to meet you, but I'm short on time, is the old hunter here? ”

"Old Horner......" The village chief's gray hair trembled slightly, and he said with a gloomy face: "Old Horner was injured by that guy, and he almost gave up last night, and now he can't get up in bed——"

The expressions of the two people around him became very heavy, and Wirt was startled and asked with concern, "Is it serious?"

Seeing the village chief's gloomy face, Werther immediately reached out and took out a bottle of sparkling divine water from his pocket—Bai Ze recognized it at a glance as something he had once drunk:

The blessed divine water of the goddess of the Gospel Aphrodite.

"Sir, take me directly to him, I can save him. ”

The old man's eyes immediately brightened a little, and he walked inside with Wirt, but suddenly remembered something and asked, "Aren't you all coming in?" ”

"No, old man, it's important to save people, and besides, we can't just put a burden on the residents. Wirther frowned, hugged the village chief, and said, "Let's go meet the old hunter first." ”

"This ......" the village chief wanted to say something, but Wirt said something like "military discipline and military regulations" and walked back with the village chief in his arms.

The village chief had no choice but to give up, and Wirt turned around and smiled at the crowd with an incomprehensible smile.
